Damian Priest is rooting for the Yankees.
WWE star Damian Priest was in attendance for the second game of the American League Championship Series, where the New York Yankees beat the Cleveland Indians to take a 2-0 lead. Priest previously attended a Yankees home game just days after he won the World Heavyweight Championship at WWE WrestleMania XL.
Speaking with Justin Barrasso of Undisputed, Damian Priest, who grew up in the Bronx, discussed his Yankees fandom.
“The Yankees, they’re my team. That’s why I was so honored to bring the title to Yankee Stadium. Jose Trevino’s a big WWE fan, and we’ve kept in touch. I love to support my friends, and he’s a friend. There are a lot of guys on the team who like wrestling. Trevino and Tommy [Kahnle] are the two biggest wrestling fans on the team, and [Nick] Swisher is a huge fan, too. I’m always pulling for them. I really think this is their year," Priest said.
As the Yankees continue their quest to win the gold, Priest has also set his sights on becoming a champion. On the October 14th episode of WWE Raw, he said that it was time for him to be El Campeon again.
